Nicole Richie in Deep S...

Posted Jul 10th 2007 1:34PM by TMZ Staff

The Commissioner in the Nicole Richie DUI case did not grant the continuance Nicole Richie wanted. Period.

As TMZ first reported, Richie's lawyer asked for a continuance until August 5th, because her expert witness, Dr. Terence McGee, was not available to testify then. Commissioner Steven Lubell was visibly upset and ordered both Nicole's lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, and the prosecutor into chambers. When the Commissioner came out, he said he would not rule on the continuance and ordered all parties into court tomorrow morning at 8:30 AM -- that's when the trial is scheduled to begin.

Seems like Nicole is in a pickle. She flew to Calgary last night with baby daddy Joel Madden, who is performing a gig in the Great White North. Will Nicole bail on the concert and come back to face the Commish?

We'll let you know!

4. She is such an ugly stupid skank. The thought of this ugly stupid skank possibly raising a child makes me run for a barf bag. God help that child.

8. I hope she goes to jail or stays in Canada. We could do with one less irritating celebutard.

9. Ha Ha! Time to go to jail!!!
If Paris did time there is no doubt this chick will be in the slammer for even longer... What she did is 10x worse than Parasite! Knocked up or not! I see her going away for a very long time!

10. I bet the judge heard that she flew to Calgary and found that her actions disrespected the court. Nciole assumed the continuance would be granted and said "whatever" and left. Good for the judge. No tolerance for these celebutantes who disregard the law and the legal system!
